Saving Our Clients Money. One Gallon at a Time

Does Your Swimming Pool / Spa Actually Have a Leak?

Is your water level dropping more than 1/4″ daily?

All swimming pools and spas lose water through the natural evaporation process. Interestingly, any two bodies of water with the same chemical makeup, temperature and environmental conditions should lose water to evaporation at the same exact rate.

It is completely normal to lose up to ¼” or more of water daily due to evaporation. Water loss from evaporation can and does happen in the winter time also.

At Aquatrace, we recognize and appreciate the value of a dollar, especially in today’s time. And we understand that you didn’t wake up this morning expecting to contract for our services.

As much as we appreciate your business, let’s see if you are actually in need of our services.

Food for Thought

Most pools are only water tight at and below the normal fill line

When you add water to your pool, there is typically a water fill line that you stop at. Many times, this fill line is approximately the center line of your skimmer mouth opening.

When a pool is filled excessively above this line, whether by water hose or rain, it is not uncommon to see this water level quickly drop back down to normal. This does not necessarily mean that a leak is present.

However, if your water level drops below this norma fill line, a leak may be present.

Does your water level consistently drop below the halfway point of your skimmer mouth or below your normal fill line?
